Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for producing nitrobenzenes and more particularly to a process for producing nitrobenzenes by nitration of benzenes in a vapor phase using nitric acid as a nitrating agent and sulfuric acid as a catalyst.
- Nitrobenzenes are important key industrial chemicals used as raw materials for dyes, medicines, agricultural chemicals, and the like.
- nitration effected in a vapor phase is conducted with nitric acid in the presence of a catalyst comprising an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid supported on carriers(Japanese Patent Kokai Nos. 50-126626, 50-126627, 51-63134 and 53-12823).
- a catalyst comprising an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid supported on carriers(Japanese Patent Kokai Nos. 50-126626, 50-126627, 51-63134 and 53-12823).
- these processes also have problems, i.e., insufficiency in catalytic activity and short life of catalysts.
- the inventors have made intensive research in an attempt to find a process for production of nitrobenzenes in a vapor phase using nitric acid as a nitrating agent.
- reduction in activity of catalysts comprising sulfuric acid supported on carriers is caused due to elimination of sulfuric acid from the carriers, that the reduction of catalytic activity does not occur at all if sulfuric acid is replenished in an amount corresponding to that of the sulfuric acid which has eliminated from the carrier and that extremely high nitration activity can also be maintained by continuously or intermittently feeding a catalytic amount, namely, a slight amount of sulfuric acid in the presence of only the carriers.
- a process for producing nitrobenzenes by nitration of benzenes in vapor phase using nitric acid as a nitrating agent wherein the nitration is carried out while sulfuric acid is continuously or intermittently fed as a catalyst in the presence of carriers for the sulfuric acid.
- silica carriers such as silica gel, diatomaceous earth, silica sand, and silica wool and inorganic compounds such as silicon carbide, silica-alumina, zeolite, titania, zirconia, alumina, active carbon, and graphite.
- Silica carriers such as silica gel, especially, dried silica sol, diatomaceous earth, silica sand and silica wool and silicon carbide are preferred, taking into consideration of their nitration activity and force for inhibiting sulfuric acid from being eliminated from the catalysts or retention of sulfuric acid.
- the carriers desirably have sulfuric acid supported thereon, since an induction period before the reaction begins to start is shortened.
- Amount of sulfuric acid to be fed as a catalyst is usually 1/10 - 1/50,000, preferably 1/100 - 1/50,000, more preferably 1/500 - 1/10,000 on the basis of the weight of nitric acid.
- Sulfuric acid as the catalyst is fed continuously or intermittently. Sulfuric acid may be fed alone or as a mixture with any of the starting materials. For example, a catalytic amount of the sulfuric acid is dissolved in the nitric acid before it is fed.
- Concentration of nitric acid as the nitrating agent is not critical. Concentrated nitric acid and diluted nitric acid may be used.
- One of the superiorities of the present invention to the conventional processes is that dilute nitric acid is usable and this brings about advantage not only in cost, but in materials of reaction instruments.
- Benzenes which are one of the starting materials include, for example, benzene, chlorobenzene and toluene.
- Nitration in a vapor phase is carried out by feeding vapor of the starting benzenes and vapor of the nitric acid over catalysts.
- the vapors may be diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, argon, carbon dioxide or air.
- Molar ratio of the nitric acid to the benzenes is usually 5/1 - 1/10, preferably 2/1 - 1/5, and reaction temperature is usually 100 - 300°C, preferably 120 - 200°C.
- Conditions for feeding of the starting materials (W/F) are not critical, but usually are selected within the range of 0.1 - 100 g-catalyst. h/mol.
- the present reaction is carried out in conventional apparatuses for vapor phase flow reaction of fixed bed or fluidized bed.
- the reaction product is washed with alkali and then recovered by distillation.
- nitration activity can be maintained by the sulfuric acid fed, substantially no deterioration of the activity occurs and nitrobenzenes are produced selectively in high yield for a long period of time.
- dilute nitric acid is usable as a nitrating agent makes to increase economical value of the process of the present invention.
- Nitration of benzene with dilute nitric acid (70%) in a vapor phase was effected using silicon carbide (35 ml) as a carrier.
- Dilute nitric acid in which sulfuric acid in an amount of 1/100 (weight ratio based on the nitric acid) was dissolved was fed as a catalyst.
- Reaction was carried out in an apparatus for a vapor phase flow reaction of fixed bed made of pyrex. Nitrogen gas was used as a carrier gas. Reaction conditions were as follows.
- the product was trapped at 0°C and then the trapped solution was analyzed by liquid chromatography and gas composition of a vapor phase portion was analyzed by gas chromatography. Unaltered nitric acid was obtained by alkalimetry of the trapped solution and conversion of nitric acid was calculated. Time and the results of reaction are shown in Table 2. The results of reaction are shown based on nitric acid.
- Nitration of benzene was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 except that an amount of silicon carbide as a carrier was 3 g in palce of the 35 ml and an amount of sulfuric acid fed was 1/1000 in place of the 1/100 (weight ratio on the basis of the weight of nitric acid.
- Nitration of benzene with 70% dilute nitric acid was carried out in the same manner as in Example 2 using the catalyst prepared in Reference Example 1 which comprised 10% of sulfuric acid supported on silica in place of the silicon carbide.
- An amount of sulfuric acid fed was 1/1000 in palce of the 1/100 (weight ratio on the basis of the weight of nitric acids.
- Time and the results of the reaction are shown in Table 4. The results are shown based on nitric acid.
- Nitration was effected in the same manner as in Example 3 except that an amount of sulfuric acid fed was 1/5000 in place of the 1/1000 (weight ratio on the basis of nitric acid). Time and the results of the reaction are shown in Table 5. The results are shown based on nitric acid.
- Nitration was effected in the same manner as in Example 3 using catalysts comprising 10% of sulfuric acid supported on various supports which were prepared in Reference Example 2 (Table 1). An amount of sulfuric acid fed was 1/1000 (weight ratio on the basis of nitric acid). Time and the results of the reaction are shown in Table 6. The results are shown based on nitric acid.
- Nitration of benzene was effected in the same manner as in Example 5 using catalyst No. 2 (10% of sulfuric acid supported on diatomaceous earth) feeding no sulfuric acid. Results are shown in Table 7.
- Nitration of chlorobenzene in a vapor phase was effected in the same manner as in Example 3 using the catalyst No. 1 (10% of sulfuric acid supported on silica) and using chlorobenzene in place of the benzene. Reaction temperature was 160°C in place of 140°C. The results are shown in Table 8 based on nitric acid.
- Nitration of toluene in a vapor phase was effected in the same manner as in Example 3 using the catalyst No. 1 (10% of sulfuric acid supported on silica) and using toluene in place of the benzene. Reaction temperature was 140°C. The results are shown in Table 9 based on nitric acid.
